I have a desktop external drive at home that is finicky when it comes to being detected by the OS. Sometimes it's fine, and my cloud folders sync without issue on startup, but other times I need to turn it off and then back on 2 or even 3 times before I can actually use it.
When it doesn't work, I believe I get the "Code 10" device malfunctioning message in Device Manager. The drive is plugged into the USB 3.0 hub on the back of my Acer XR341CK, but it does the same thing when connected directly to the motherboard. It has its own power supply so it's not a power issue, at least I don't think so.
Anyone else have similar issues? I'm thinking it could be an interface driver that needs to be updated.
